《Creation Records》Chapter 14 - A New Dream
Advertisement
The night sky was adorned with shimmering stars, and the moon illuminated the world below.
Amid the moonlight, a mysterious silhouette stood, emanating a divine-like aura surrounding its form.
(Is this another one of those dreams again? But this place seems to be in a different location. It's not the usual 'Paradise' I kept on seeing.) Asahi thought as he watched the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Although the silhouette's face could not be seen, it was evident that their gaze was fixed upon the ground below.
In the silhouette's line of sight was a small injured dragon; it has the same size as a dog. The dragon seems to be close to dying, barely clinging to life. And by the looks of things, maybe only a god can save it now.
Seeing this, the silhouette said in a solemn voice, "Creation."
the silhouette's voice can now be heard properly. It's a voice of a man.
As Asahi watched, the silhouette tapped into the power of Creation, resembling a lord commanding the very fabric of existence.
In fact, Asahi had named the Creation Lord Palace after this enigmatic figure that had appeared in his dreams.
As the silhouette wielded their power, a radiant glow enveloped the small dragon, transforming it into an egg in a matter of moments.
Shortly after that, another silhouette arrived, emanating a divine-like aura similar to the first.
It stood next to the silhouette that Asahi first saw in his dreams. By now, Asahi calls the silhouette the Creation Lord.
The second silhouette poured a stream of power into the egg, enhancing its essence.
"So, is this going to be our pet?" The silhouette who Asahi calls the Creation Lord casually remarked.
"No, dear. What are you talking about? We gave this little girl a new life. We have infused both of our essences into her, which some people in the mortal realms refer to as 'DNA'. So she should be considered our child now" The silhouette who had just arrived said. By the sound of her voice, the silhouette seems to be a woman.

The Creation Lord realized his mistake and replied, "Ah, sorry. You know, I regret it now that I called her a pet. She'll be our child from now on, after all."
"How about giving her a name, then?" The woman silhouette suggested.
"Do you think I should be the one to name her?" the Creation Lord asked.
"Yes, of course," the woman replied.
"In that case, from this day forward, your name shall be 'Ria'." the Creation Lord said as he gently touched the egg.
"Ria... that's a beautiful name." The woman silhouette agreed.
(I've been seeing the Creation Lord alot, but I wonder who this woman is? Judging from their conversation, they seems to be a pair of lovers.) Asahi thought as he watched the scene.
Suddenly, the world turned into a blinding flash of white, causing Asahi to instinctively shut his eyes.
When he reopened them, he found himself staring at a somewhat familiar ceiling.
(That dream just now..) Asahi asked no one in particular at the back of his mind. Then, a smile appeared on his face.
(It seems my powers of Creation have grown stronger again.) Asahi thought as his face broke into a grin.
After rising from his bed, Asahi proceeded to freshen up and prepare for the day ahead.
"Creation." Then, as he coolly said that, he started using Creation.
°°°
A few minutes later, Asahi stepped out of his room, making his way towards the living room, passing by the other rooms along the corridor.
Upon his arrival, everyone had already gathered in the living room.
"Good morning, father, and everyone too." Asahi greeted them respectfully as he slightly bowed his head.
"Oh, good morning to you too, Asahi." Everyone greeted Asahi back in unison.

"Oh that's right. Father, mother Sakiyo, mother Shimeshi, elder brother and Hatsuki, I have something to give you all." Asahi announced, retrieving something from his pocket. "These are creations of mine. They will prove beneficial if you consume them," he added, presenting five round black pills.
"Hmm? Are you sure these are safe, Asahi?" Shigure asked for confirmation.
"Yes, father. I'm sure it's safe. You can kill me if it's not." Asahi said in a serious tone.
"Woah woah! There's no need to go that far! We trust you, okay?" Tadamori said, flustered.
"Hmph! I'll eat it first, then. I can't have my family eat something unknown, after all." Hatsuki said with a huff.
"No, as a father, I'll eat it first." Shigure said.
"No, father. Let me." Hatsuki said as she instantly grabbed one of the black colored round pills before anyone could react and ate it.
"Wha-" Everyone was shocked by her sudden action, including Asahi.
A few moments later, Hatsuki exhaled deeply.
"I felt my body being hot for a moment, but now I'm fine.." Hatsuki said as she checked her own body. "So, what kind of benefit does it do?"
Everyone looked at Asahi, waiting of his reply.
"Hatsuki, imagine that you have wings." Asahi replied in a nonchalant tone.
"Why?" Hatsuki questioned, perplexed by his request.
"Just do it." Asahi urged.
Hesitant but curious, Hatsuki closed her eyes and visualized sprouting wings from her back. Suddenly, a pair of pristine white feathered wings manifested, giving her an ethereal appearance akin to an angel.
"Wha.." The room erupted in amazement as they beheld Hatsuki's newfound wings.
"Don't worry, Hatsuki. You can make the wings vanish at will, and bring them forth whenever needed. Moreover, you'll be able to fly with them, and there are no side effects. " Asahi explained in excitement
This was the enhanced ability of Creation that Asahi had reawakened through his recent dream. Previously, he could only utilize Creation on his own body, but now, he had unlocked the potential to bestow its power upon others, be they humans, animals, or even monsters. However, Asahi still doesn't know the principles behind it.
However, it would be suspicious for him do do it directly to his family, so he had utilized the pills as catalysts for the process.
"Wow! Are you a genius, Asahi!? This will make not just our Clan, but also the Kingdom reach greater heights!" Tadamori said as he praised Asahi, he couldn't contain his excitement.
"Well done, Asahi." Shigure also said as he patted Asahi's shoulder. Everyone praised him too.
Shigure remained calm on the surface, but he was actually in disbelief about what happened. I cannot believe his mediocre son suddenly did something out of this world. However, Shigure decided to trust Asahi and only time will tell about the truth.
"I guess you're not as useless as I thought." Hatsuki said with barely an audible voice.
"Hahaha.." Asahi just laughed, not bothered to reply.
"Oh yeah, Asahi. Duke Engelbert is going to visit here today, so be prepared. He's your fiancee's father, after all." Shigure informed him.
"Yes, Father." Asahi acknowledged, preparing himself for the forthcoming meeting.

The Nightcore Trilogy
Going to space was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime, but for Reece Danielson and his crew, it was only the beginning. As the fresh astronauts aboard the Zhengzhou International Space Station start their on-the-job training, Reece is shown a discovery that changes his entire worldview. It isn’t long before a tragic accident aboard the station sets off a series of events that not only puts the crew in danger but at odds with each other. The events quickly escalate into a man-made apocalyptic incident on the surface of the planet. A virulent plague is prematurely released which transforms everyone into flesh-eating undead, and that is only the beginning of the troubles. There are far worse things down there than zombies and possibly a few of them lurk on the station itself. The Nightcore Trilogy thematically begins with a heavy sci-fi feel coupled to a gritty space-based horror mystery. The story's layers are slowly peeled back, evolving into something much more supernatural, mythological, and high-fantasy-based. It's a mix of elements from survival horror, zombie apocalypses, ancient mythologies, supernatural stories, and harem anime. It contains semi-descriptive sex scenes (traditional and non-traditional), descriptions of gore, profanity, and adult situations, so I recommend it for mature and open-minded audiences only.

Poems
While in English exists only one word for it, the ancient Greeks with their aim for self-understanding and knowledge found eight different varieties of love that we might all experience at some point:1. Eros (Erotic love) - represents the idea of sexual passion and desire;2. Philia (Affectionate love) - friendship, love between equals;3. Storge (Familial love) - love between close family members;4. Ludus (Playful love) - the early stages of falling in love;5. Mania (Obsessive love) - an imbalance between eros and ludus;6. Pragma (Enduring love) - love that has matured and developed over time;7. Philautia (Self love) - self-love in its healthiest form;8. Agape (Selfless love) - the highest and most radical type of love.(Unless stated otherwise, everything except the art belongs to me.)
